45: Chapter 45 Fifth-Order Magical Beast

"What the hell? Is this thing actually Liu Ruyan?"

"The contractor field is empty. Could Qin Shousheng have been eaten by her?"

"But what is going on with Liu Ruyan? She's turned into this, yet her favorability towards me has become positive? And it's as high as 40 points?"

Chen Yi clicked his tongue inwardly.

Although his feelings for Liu Ruyan had long since dissipated.

Seeing Liu Ruyan in this state still made one unable to help but feel sympathy.

The demonization process for Spirit Beasts is extremely cruel; it is an indescribable torture.

Precisely because of this, out of humanitarianism, various countries grant those Spirit Beast Girls who are about to undergo demonization and are beyond saving the option of euthanasia.

However, unexpectedly.

This phenomenon of Spirit Beast demonization, which is extremely rare even on television, is actually happening here?

Judging from Liu Ruyan's evaluation column, it seems she was forced into demonization.

What else in this world could forcibly cause a Spirit Beast to undergo demonization?

Furthermore, due to the existence of the dark space, communication from aerial drones has been severely interfered with, and the outside world is likely completely unaware of the situation here.

Besides that, this move can also block all spatial skills, making it impossible to use teleportation crystals to escape.

Is it a coincidence that it possesses this skill, or was it planned all along?

Luo Shiyin asked with a worried face: "Little Brother Chen Yi, what should we do now? This bug seems to be Tier 5; we are absolutely no match for it!"

Chen Yi made a prompt decision and ordered: "We are definitely not its match! Shiyin, fly back to the rest area immediately and find Wang Kaili. This monster has no long-range attack skills, and Lin Mengxue and I can temporarily hold it off!"

"Okay! I understand!"

Luo Shiyin did not hesitate in the slightest, immediately spreading her wings and speeding towards the rest area.

Chen Yi then took a strength amplification card from his bosom and used it to strengthen Lin Mengxue.

This is the border area of the examination zone, about thirty-some kilometers away from the rest area.

Luo Shiyin flying at full speed should be able to make a round trip within twenty minutes.

We just need to hold this thing off for as long as we can during this time!

"Lin Mo, take this chance to escape quickly. Once the teleportation crystal can be used, escape immediately and inform the outside world of the situation here!"

"I know! Can't you see I'm already running?"

Although Lin Mo longed to win first place in his heart.

But at this life-and-death moment, he was still able to distinguish priorities.

If he stayed here any longer, he might get swallowed whole by that thing at any moment without even knowing it.

"Mengxue, go! That thing has no long-range attack skills; let's save those students first!"

"Okay!"

"Help, help!"

"Damn it!!!"

Just as a pair of Beast Tamers was about to be caught by Liu Ruyan.

Suddenly, a Breath of Ice descended from the sky, striking straight onto Liu Ruyan's back.

Although this attack did not cause any substantial damage.

It still bought precious escape time for the two students in front.

Liu Ruyan turned her head sharply, and when she saw Chen Yi's figure, she was momentarily stunned.

Lin Mengxue took the opportunity to launch a Dragon's Breath; the pure white breath exploded above Liu Ruyan's head, instantly leveling the forest within tens of meters around Liu Ruyan.

However, even with her attributes doubled, Lin Mengxue was still unable to inflict much damage on Liu Ruyan.

The gap in tiers was simply too large; even if Lin Mengxue was strong and had the strength amplification card to assist her, it was very difficult for her to accomplish anything.

"Roar—"

Liu Ruyan let out an angry roar.

Her body began to writhe violently, and like a giant snake, she launched a surprise attack at an astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye, it actually leaped dozens of meters high.

Fortunately, Lin Mengxue reacted quickly; with a fierce flap of her dragon wings, her body floated up ten meters, narrowly dodging Liu Ruyan's attack.

"What the hell, what kind of bug is this? It can even fly? Mengxue, be careful!"

"Mm, I know!"

On the other side, the students who saw Chen Yi appear finally breathed a huge sigh of relief.

But this relaxed atmosphere did not last long.

"It's Chen Yi!"

"Scared the hell out of me, I thought I was going to die here."

"Mengxue is too amazing! That bug feels like it's at least Tier 4 or 5, and she was actually able to damage it."

"Everyone, don't think you can rest easy now; there's still the Monster Tide triggered by that bug!!"

Lan Yucheng shouted hurriedly.

However, before everyone could catch their breath, the massive Monster Tide came rushing over, covering the sky and earth.

Although the students had already organized a defensive line.

In the face of such a massive numerical disparity, their efforts seemed so insignificant.

The defensive line was instantly broken, and in the blink of an eye, several students met with misfortune.

Watching the monsters cruelly tearing at the students' corpses, viscera blurred, blood splattered everywhere.

The remaining students were instantly terrified, their faces deathly pale, their legs weak, and some were even so scared that they wet their pants.

This was far more bloody than being swallowed whole just a moment ago!

"Did you see that gully on the left?"

Chen Yi shouted from the air, "Run over there, use it as a base to establish a defensive line; perhaps we can hold out until reinforcements arrive!"

Upon hearing his shout, everyone looked towards the direction Chen Yi was pointing.

That gully was blocked by towering rock walls on both sides, and behind it were the large trees that had just been knocked down by Liu Ruyan, forming a temporary defensive wall.

If they stayed inside, apart from flying-type monsters that could attack from behind, they would only need to deal with attacks from directly in front, greatly reducing the pressure of defense.

The school's reinforcements should arrive soon; holding out for a few minutes is definitely not a problem!

The situation was critical; the students had no time to think too much and quickly ran towards the gully.

Soon, the thirty-some surviving students all hid inside the gully.

They lined up closely together, taking turns guarding the front, resisting the surging Monster Tide.

Although the pressure of defense was still immense, it was much better than being attacked from both front and back.

Especially Fang Xiaoye, because of her exceptionally agile movements, while other Spirit Beasts blocked the Monster Tide, she was able to quickly reduce the number of monsters with her mobility and attack power.

And Lan Yucheng's archery, from the rear, also exerted very powerful destructive force.

Almost every arrow was one enemy, truly interpreting what the strength of an academy ace means!

"So strong! The night before last, I saw them both get one-shotted by Mengxue, I thought they were noobs, I didn't expect them to be this strong?"

"That's because Mengxue is too strong! Just because someone got one-shotted by Mengxue doesn't mean they are weak!"

"Can you guys stop blabbering and come help me quickly!"

"Sorry Brother Lan, we're coming right now!"

Everyone woke up from their daze and joined the battle one after another.
